If only I could rate -stars. $300 to tow from Chapin to 555 and Rabon Rd. Cash only. I was unfortunate enough to have the South Carolina Highway Patrol call them from rotation. Don't make that mistake! Call anyone but them! Learn from other people's mistakes because we don't live long enough to make them all ourselves

If I could give 0 stars I would. My vehicle was towed by Express Towing due to a collision. While on my way to the hospital by ambulance the state trooper had Express Towing remove my heavily damaged vehicle. I called twice over the weekend to get into my vehicle and no one answered or returned my calls. When I was finally able to access my vehicle multiple items were STOLEN and all storage areas gone through.
